Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Finally, these people gathered together, discussed it amongst themselves, and decided that since they couldn't go back anyway, they might as well run away while no one was paying attention to them.

However, despite their escape, in order to wash away their shame, they jointly chose a scapegoat.

The deputy director of the Eternal Sea has a terrible reputation; he's a rapist. People like that are definitely not to be trifled with!

On the eve of a major battle, they actually got into an argument with the supervisor over a trivial matter, which led to a physical fight and resulted in the main ship being completely exposed and sunk by a single shot.

The fleet of the Eternal Sea was completely thrown into chaos, its formation was broken, leading to a defeat in the war.

It's all that person's fault!

No, ultimately it's all the fault of the Eternal Sea.

It's shameful that you can reuse such trash.

They've screwed us over so badly, it's all the Eternal Sea's fault!

The remaining people of the Eternal Sea panicked and could only flee along with the main force.

The world is so big, surely there must be a place for us to stay?

However, despite their shady dealings, they still reported the situation before leaving.

Anyway, I'm not going back, so whatever.

Telling you about the battle situation is a way to calm your restless conscience.

……

Before Anran received Juliana's contact, the high command of the Thousand Crane Star Rebellion had already received reports from the rear.

Special Confidential! (Highly Enforced)

When the message arrived, it was filtered by AI, and in the end, only a few people at the highest level received the message.

They immediately convened a secret meeting.

In the conference room, five people looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Finally, the leader at the head of the table spoke: "You have all received the message, haven't you?"

"received."

The group nodded in agreement.

That was a desperate message written by Sun He.

He originally planned to send the message after the defeat to warn those on the front lines not to be surrounded.

However, things change unexpectedly, and they actually won. In his excitement, Sun He didn't even notice that he had accidentally pressed the button.

When the meeting was held at the front, Sun He was still in a state of dejection and lying down.

He needed some quiet time to process this incredible victory.

“I was too careless.” The leader lowered his head. “I didn’t expect them to be able to contact the Crimson Legion.”

There have been clashes between the Anti-Noble Alliance and the Thousand Crane Star Rebellion. In fact, during their advance, they have already broken through two lines of defense of the Anti-Noble Alliance, and now the battle line has been pushed to the edge of the Eternal Sea.

“Leader, now is not the time to blame ourselves. If anyone is at fault, it is us all. Even the other side of the Transcendental Dimension…” The person trying to comfort him quickly shook his head. “The key is how to handle this. Only a few of us know that our headquarters has been destroyed, but I believe that the Eternal Sea will definitely not let go of the opportunity to undermine our morale.”

“Once the news gets out, we can’t fight this war. We must come up with a plan as soon as possible.”

The leader nodded; this was the logical course of action, and also the purpose of his meeting.

Advance to the death?

This won't do.

Their fleet was indeed smaller than the enemy's.

The options are either to quickly withdraw from the battlefield or to decisively turn back and retake the base camp as soon as possible.

"What do you think?" the leader asked, waiting for the remaining four to answer.

Both options are actually very risky; the other party is unlikely to just stand by and watch them escape.

After careful consideration, someone said, "My suggestion is to pretend to fight them first, send out a decoy force, and then the main force should immediately teleport to the edge of the Anti-Noble Alliance's territory and head towards Twin Stars to return to Thousand Crane Star as quickly as possible."

The leader stroked his chin, contemplating the feasibility of the plan.

Throw out the bait.

Emmm...

If launched well, the chances of success are indeed quite high; those people from the Eternal Sea have absolutely no military training.

"other……"

"Buzzing~"

Just as they were about to continue their discussion, a notification sound suddenly rang in the conference room.

Hush

The leader made a shushing gesture and pressed a button on the table.

"What happened?"

"Leader, ANR from beyond time has contacted us. She says she has something to discuss with you."

Did they find out too?

Oh, right.

The leader immediately understood.

Even though the Time-Space Expansion program did leave some people on Qianhe Star, it's still worth noting that they did leave some people behind.

"I understand. Transfer her contact directly to the conference room."

About five seconds later, An Ran's three-dimensional figure appeared on the conference table.

A seemingly profound smile played at the corners of her lips.

ha?

How can you still laugh at a time like this?

After the initial surprise, the leader felt a pang of shame.

That's true composure! Look at him, so calm in the face of danger. It's just a "minor" incident at home, nothing to worry about!

That makes sense. Without such magnanimity and vision, the Transcendental Dimension could not have risen from humble beginnings to end the centuries-long pirate turmoil in the northern border of Naglia.

Although he is the leader of Chizuru Star, he used to be just a company employee, far from being comparable to ANR.

Seeing the deeply moved expression on the leader of Qianhe Star, An Ran didn't think much of it.

She wasn't actually there to negotiate with this group of people; she was there to deliver a notice.

Although it would be a decent force on Kuroshio Chizuru Star, it's far inferior to the current Transcendental Space-Time.

If it weren't for the fact that the cooperation between the two parties had been relatively pleasant, Anran would have already resorted to the tactic of "borrowing a path to conquer Guo".

However, if the rebels of Qianhexing could see reality clearly, they might just surrender themselves in the end.

"Those people from the Eternal Sea failed to ambush our rear, so I've decided to let them taste the same pain," An Ran said.

Being exposed is a very painful experience.

what?

The leader was startled.

He immediately advised, "Don't be impulsive! Although our rear has been occupied, we should proceed cautiously and steadily at this time, rather than act rashly!"

He suddenly realized he had exaggerated too early.

Adventure, always an adventure.

But luck has its limits, and there will always be times when you fail.

One failure could wipe out everything you've gained so far.

An Ran's eyelids drooped slightly.

What do you mean it's been occupied? What nonsense are you spouting?

She waved her hand impatiently: "Alright, it's decided then. I just came to inform you. When the time comes, keep an eye on the people of the Eternal Sea and remember to pursue them when they retreat."

"and many more……"

The leader stood up and extended his hand.

However, An Ran has already disappeared.

His hand froze awkwardly in mid-air, caught in a dilemma.

"Leader, this..."

The others were also a bit confused.

Is he out of his mind because of the fever?

Their combined fleet only has a little over 5,000 ships, which is just over half the size of the opposing force.

At this point, they actually planned to send a portion of the fleet to launch a surprise attack. Even if you successfully bypassed them, the remaining ships on the front would be easily overwhelmed.

"We can't let her run wild like this!" someone shouted, slamming their fist on the table.

Someone chimed in, "We can't afford any more losses. If we fail on the main battlefield, the Qianhexing Rebellion Army will be wiped out."

Someone else suddenly offered a different perspective: "I suddenly thought of something."

"What is it?" the leader asked, looking over.

"Weren't we just discussing the bait? I think that woman from the time-travel dimension is quite determined; she'll most likely make her move in the end. In that case, wouldn't they become the bait?"

"!"

That seems to make sense!

The others stared at each other in surprise for a long time.

The leader raised his hand and then lowered it.

As you said, comrade, but wouldn't that make us seem too shameless?
